Disclaimer: I do not own any part of Starsky and Hutch Franchise. The following is for entertainment only.

Author's Note: One of my favorite scenes in the episode GILLIAN, is at the end at the Royal Theatre. Starsky and Hutch finally have Al Grossman trapped between them on the steps. Hutch goes through a variety of emotions as he walks toward the man responsible for Gillian's death.

This is a 200 word drabble.

I'M STILL STANDING

Al Grossman thought he could destroy me but I'm still standing.

As I walk toward him all I feel is hate and rage for what he did to Gillian. I want him to feel my hands around his throat as the breath is forced from his body.

He's trapped on the steps between me and Starsky. I advance another step, but he cheats me out of my revenge. He throws himself toward me. A last attempt to take me with him but I'm still standing. He lies broken and twisted at my feet. Not even his perverted relationship with his mother can save him now.

I'm still standing while he's moaning on the floor. But now my rage and hate has turned to pity. I watch him quiver and all I can do is look to Starsky as I struggle for understanding.

This man at my feet killed my lover and wanted to take me down with his last breath. He thought he could ruin Gillian's memory but I'm still standing.

Gillian's memory keeps me alive. My love for her is not corrupt like the man I stand over.

The pain of losing her is real.

But I'm Still Standing.
